Great Lakes Biplane For Sale

When a unique airplane comes up for sale and deserves a good home... I just have to spread the word... Dan

Exceptional
1977 Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 offered for sale. The Great Lakes is a
wonderful biplane and is a very capable entry
into moderate level aerobatics, that is also fun to fly low and slow
with the wind on your face. It will do everything a Stearman does, but
fits in a t-hangar and only burns 10gph. It can easily be rolled in and
out of the hangar with one person.

Completely
disassembled and restored in 2009-2010. Reassembled with all new
hardware. Fuselage completely stripped, inspected, and refinished. Wings
completely disassembled,
inspected, replaced one wood spar (small end crack). All fabric
replaced with Ceconite. All new wiring including new electrical panel
with new circuit breakers. All new instrument panels fabricated and
finished with all instruments restored or replaced.
New avionics including Garmin 250XL nav/com, Garmin GTX327 transponder,
PS intercom. New Cleveland brakes. All hoses and fuel lines replaced.
New seat belts and shoulder harness with parachutes included.

(Edit - March 2014... this Great Lakes has found a new home.)

It is a cold and icy day here in North Texas. So that has me looking over aircraft for sale around the country. The internet sure makes dream airplane shopping fun. All your dream airplanes right on your screen!

Two of the coolest listings I found are on www.courtesyaircraft.com and if I were to buy a time machine back to the 1920s I would snag one of the Ford TriMotors!

The Mighty Howard 500 was a conversion from a Lockheed twin that makes a ramp presence like very few airplanes today. If you were to see a Howard 500 on a ramp full of Challengers, Gulfstreams and Falcons... which do you think YOU would be drawn to? Watch the video above and tell me you wouldn't skip the others and walk around the Howard! Thanks to collector Toni Phillippi in Minnesota there are now two preserved Howard 500's in flying condition. I first saw the Howard 500 at Oshkosh and walked by it several times a day for the week that I was there. The powerful twin just draws you in. If I were assembling a dream fleet of airplanes for my personal collection, A Howard 500 would be my traveling machine! The video above shows that Mr. Phillippi flies his Howard's all over the country and even went to great lengths to return one from Europe to the United States.

Flying has been Dan Linn's passion since he was young. In 1991 he obtained his private pilot's license and has been researching and flying vintage aircraft ever since. He is the former owner of a 1946 Taylorcraft BC-12D and a 1956 Cessna 170B.
Apart from his day job at Learjet he can be found researching vintage aircraft and spending time with family. Dan makes his home in Texas where he lives with his wife Candice and son Brennen.
